Pros

Close to home and I enjoy my peer co-workers. Salary average. Bonus disappointing.

Cons

I knew GSK as a Pharmaceutical Sales company from my years in the field selling pharmaceutical products. Never in a million years would I think that working for this organization would be so dysfunctional! I admit that going from a field based position to working in a manufacturing environment would require an adjustment. But three years later I can tell you that this organization does NOT live by its "Values". It is a "Boys-club" and the majority of Upper management "leads" through bullying and intimidation. Communication is conducted via a Top-down driven, command and control, hierarchical structure. In today's business world never in a million years would I think that this type of organization would still exist. No room for advancement. Not even a courtesy interview when applying for internal positions. In fact I have proof that in one case the hiring manager never even received my resume / application.
